"Dante et Virgile aux Enfers" (Dante and Virgil in Hell) is a renowned oil painting by the French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, created in 1850. This masterpiece is a vivid representation of a scene from Dante Alighieri's "Inferno", the first part of his epic poem "The Divine Comedy". Bouguereau, known for his classical and mythological subjects, brings to life the moment when the poets Dante and Virgil encounter the damned souls in Hell. The painting is a striking example of the academic art style of the 19th century, showcasing Bouguereau's meticulous attention to detail, his mastery of human anatomy, and his ability to convey intense emotion and drama.

The artwork depicts Dante and Virgil in the eighth circle of Hell, surrounded by tormented souls and demonic figures, illustrating the horrors and the eternal suffering of the damned. Dante is shown with a look of compassion and fear, while Virgil, his guide through the underworld, appears calm and stoic. The dynamic composition, the dramatic use of light and shadow, and the intense expressions of the figures highlight the painter's skill in storytelling through visual means.

"Dante et Virgile aux Enfers" was exhibited at the Salon of 1850, where it received critical acclaim, establishing Bouguereau's reputation as a leading figure in French academic painting. The work is celebrated for its technical excellence, its powerful emotional impact, and its faithful interpretation of literary sources. Today, it remains an important piece in the study of 19th-century European art and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of the themes of judgment, redemption, and the human condition. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be a subject of admiration and scholarly interest.
